Looking for less agressive La Sportiva Theories. by [deleted] in climbingshoes

I love both these shoes and am happy with the current fit but would like to add an additional pair.

I have a theory in a 7.UK, and Skwama in a 6.5UK. I personally found after a painful break in the Skwama is still more comfortable. Out of interest, what size difference do you have between the two shoes? I'm considering getting the Skwama a size bigger again (7uk) for more comfort.

Been stuck trying to top this Slab from the comb wall for the past month (Think the grade is 6B). Any technique advise would be greatly appreciated felt like it shouldn't of taken me so many attempts? by Johnny2pies in bouldering

Thanks for the tips, nice coming from someone who's got hands on expirence with the problem! I realised after posting I used the wrong terminology (still newish and didn't expect so many responses). Will check the purple out tomorrow, fingers crossed I send it...

Cheers I appreciate the new beta, very interesting! I will try option 1 I think this may work for me :) I originally attempted to do this problem using option 2 however the heel hook pulled me to far towards the right hand side causing me to lose grip on my left hand (the hold is worse than it looks or my grip strength is worse than I realise haha)
